New Light Switch

After spending four days in the new camper, I found a need for a light switch in the bedroom. Yesterday I started installing a light switch just inside the bedroom, should be finished in an hour or two. It makes it so much easier to turn on the lights when you enter the bedroom instead of trying to find the light switch on the ceiling, my friend put one in his bedroom also. It seems like FR should have done this, it wouldnt have cost the more than a couple dollars and been such and improvement to the camper, but if they did that what would we have todo to make it ours.

Looking forward to following this one.

Nedd some pics & also how did you run the wires up the wall and thru the ceiling to the lights?

I just finished up the light switch, The process was fairly easy, 1st I removed the Med cabinet, then drill a couple 11/2 holes in the ceiling, then remove light in BR and located the wire that controled both lights, ran a wire snake from light to hole in bathroom, then pulled the wire back thru to the light and made the connections, then located stud beside BR door when i found that, I cut the hole for the switch, connected wires, install switch, put med cabinet back in and put the light back, I said "Let there be Light" turned on switch and Wa La I had light. The DW was happy now no more trying to turn on lights, just open door and flip the switch.

I had the switch, but you can get them on Ebay for around $8.00 or check with your local RV dealer

What model do you have?
Neither mine (2011 313RE) or my friends (2010 31TS) had one, he put one in his too.

I have the 32QBT, Here is a pic of the light switch in the bedroom. Midway up, next to the sliding mirror.

How did you get the medicine cab out?

I just removed the two screws on each side of med cabinet and it came right out, a total of four screws was all that holds mine in

I'll look again Ihavent found any screws thanks

The screws are on the sides

Rusty,
I just checked on servimg.com, and can't find a way to edit or flip a photo, so you'll have to do that in your own photo editing program before loading them.

Thanks Tater, Ill do better on the next bunch I post

I was disappointed when I checked that servimg doesn't have an editing program. I guess they are there just to host photos. Glad they have that service, even without editing.

Going to try this in the near future. Maybe real interesting. I have to go up the wall and thru the ceiling. Sam as Scruffy would do. Wondering if they actually have a wood plate at the top of the wall. Stay tune for further info.
